Abstract:
The disclosure is related to selecting an operating channel for a cellular network to reduce interference to a wireless local area network (WLAN) operated by a small cell comprising a WLAN access point and a cellular network modem. The small cell performs a channel scan of available channels, determines whether or not there is a clean channel to be the operating channel for the cellular network based on the channel scan, wherein a clean channel comprises a channel that interferes with the WLAN less than a WLAN interference threshold, and selects the clean channel as the operating channel for the cellular network based on the clean channel being available or turns off the cellular network based on no clean channel being available.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for measurement reporting in unlicensed spectrum are disclosed. A user device may perform one or more signaling measurements in an unlicensed frequency band in accordance with a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) and send feedback information relating to the signaling measurements to a small cell base station, with the feedback information being sent in accordance with a second RAT. A message may be sent to the user device in accordance with the second RAT that configures the user device to perform the one or more signaling measurements in the unlicensed frequency band.
Abstract:
Coverage holes are identified and appropriate action taken in response thereto. The identification of a coverage hole may be based on, for example, measurements taken at an access point, measurement report messages from an access terminal, idle user registrations, active user handovers, or handover history. Upon identification of a coverage hole, action may be taken to mitigate (e.g., reduce or eliminate) the coverage hole and/or avoid the coverage hole. For example, in some embodiments, access point resources such as power, frequency and time are allocated accordingly. The action to be taken may depend on whether a coverage hole is noise-limited or interference-limited. In some embodiments, the manner in which handovers are conducted is modified upon identification of a coverage hole. The above actions may be performed entirely at an access point.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive signaling to operate in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive or idle state. The UE may receive a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) configuration for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) communication when the UE is operating in the RRC inactive or idle state. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate to utilizing SRS resources for various types of usages and configuring transmit power on the SRS resources. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) may determine whether a time gap between a first sounding reference signal (SRS) resource for a first usage and a second SRS resource for a second usage in time is less than a time threshold. Further, the UE may transmit an SRS utilizing one of the first SRS resource or the second SRS resource for both the first usage and the second usage, in response to determining that the time gap is less than the time threshold.
Abstract:
Certain aspects are directed to a method for wireless communication by a first base station. The method generally includes: assessing expected interference from a second base station to uplink communications on at least a portion of a first slot, the at least the portion of the first slot being configured for downlink; determining whether to convert the configuration of the at least the portion of the first slot from the downlink to uplink based on the assessment of the expected interference; and receiving signaling from a user-equipment (UE) via the at least the portion of the first slot in accordance with the determination.
Abstract:
A configuration to allow a base station to be synchronized with an application server to enable the base station to align uplink transmissions of a UE with downlink reception periods of the UE. The base station communicates with a UE using periodic uplink traffic bursts and periodic downlink traffic bursts. The base station selects a time offset to at least one of uplink traffic or downlink traffic to increase an overlap between the uplink traffic bursts and the downlink traffic bursts. The base station sends the time offset to an AF.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a first part of a channel state information (CSI) report, wherein the first part includes an indication of whether a value of a second part of the CSI report matches a value of a previous CSI report; and selectively transmit the second part of the CSI report based at least in part on whether the indication indicates that the value of the second part of the CSI report matches the value of the previous CSI report. In some aspects, a UE may determine a modified subband size of the UE, wherein the modified subband size is different than a configured subband size of the UE; and transmit, in a CSI report, an indication regarding the modified subband size to a base station. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication by a network device includes receiving a location of a user equipment (UE). The method also includes receiving information associated with neighbor cell transmit beams. The method further includes predicting a spatial inter-cell interference-based distribution at the location of the UE based on the information associated with the neighbor cell transmit beams.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless communication including an apparatus, e.g., a user equipment (UE) and/or base station. In one aspect, the apparatus may configure a frame structure including a plurality of slots in a subframe, the plurality of slots including at least one of one or more downlink slots, one or more uplink slots, or one or more flexible slots, each of the one or more flexible slots including multiple subband resources. The apparatus may also signal configuration information of the frame structure including the plurality of slots. Additionally, the apparatus may communicate data via the frame structure including the plurality of slots.
